House debates Questions without Notice

Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance and Corruption

Thursday, 13 August 2015 House of Representatives

Mr Tony Burke

Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance

2:37 pm

My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to his last answer, where he denied that he had previously stated that the function in question was a Liberal Party fundraiser. I also refer him to his answer to the first question I raised, where he answered, 'Well, plainly, Mr Speaker, the royal commissioner himself believed that it was inappropriate to give the address at a Liberal Party fundraiser.' Prime Minister, which answer do you stand by—the last answer or the one you gave a few minutes earlier? Was this a Liberal Party fundraiser or not?
